Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is a common long-term complication following lung surgery. Its high incidence significantly impacts patients’ quality of life and functional recovery, and imposes a substantial socioeconomic burden. This consensus aims to systematically establish a standardized integrated Chinese and Western medicine diagnostic and treatment framework for chronic post-lung surgery pain (CPLSP). Based on the latest domestic and international evidence-based medical research and multidisciplinary clinical experience, the working group comprehensively elaborates on core issues regarding CPLSP, including its definition, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical assessment, Western medical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, and integrated strategies. The consensus emphasizes a patient-centered approach, adhering to the principles of multimodality, individualization, and stepwise management, highlighting the synergistic advantages of integrating Chinese and Western medicine throughout the entire perioperative management cycle encompassing "perioperative anti-inflammation, acute analgesia, and chronic rehabilitation." Through systematic literature retrieval and evidence integration, a total of 9 core recommendations were established to provide scientifically sound and clinically practical guidance.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) during plasma exchange (PE) in pediatric patients.Methods:We conducted a retrospective analysis of 12 critically ill children admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of Jinan Children's Hospital, who underwent 28 PE sessions with RCA between December 2023 and August 2024. Clinical records were reviewed to assess bleeding events, extracorporeal circuit performance, and changes in arterial blood gas parameters, serum total calcium (Ca tot), and activated clotting time before and after treatment. Results:No patients exhibited signs of increased bleeding. In one case, the procedure was discontinued prematurely due to elevated venous pressure. A significant decrease in ionized calcium (Ca ion) was observed 0.5 hours post-treatment. At the end of PE, pH, HCO 3?, base excess (BE), lactate, PaCO 2, Ca tot, and Na + levels increased, while K + and Ca ion levels decreased, with all changes being statistically significant. Four hours post-treatment, pH, HCO 3?, BE, PaCO 2, and Na + remained elevated, whereas Ca ion, lactate, and K + returned to baseline. By 12–15 hours post-treatment, all parameters—including pH, HCO 3?, BE, PaCO 2, Na +, K +, Ca ion, and lactate—had normalized, showing no significant differences from pre-treatment levels. Conclusions:RCA provides effective extracorporeal anticoagulation during pediatric PE without increasing bleeding risk. However, metabolic complications—primarily metabolic alkalosis—are common. These disturbances typically resolve spontaneously and do not lead to severe adverse events. While no ideal anticoagulant for PE has yet been established, RCA remains a safe and effective option, particularly for pediatric patients at higher risk of bleeding.

Objective To construct a symptom network in patients with acute type A aortic dissection(ATAAD),so as to provide theoretical basis for the screening of dissection ATAAD during emergency pre-screening triage.Methods There were 433 patients diagnosed with ATAAD during 2019 to 2023 in an emergency department of a tertiary hospital in Wuhan.Their basic information and medical records were reviewed by self-designed data questionnaire.UCINET6.0 software was used to construct a symptom network,analyze the centrality index and determine the core symptoms.Symptom distribution of patients with positive and negative blood pressure in extremities was analyzed in the further.Results The most common symptoms in patients with type A aortic dissection were chest pain(77.37％),back pain(42.96％),and sweating(29.79％).In the symptom network,chest pain had the highest degree(rs=659).The closeness of chest pain,chest tightness,shortness of breath,back pain,nausea and vomiting,limb numbness and fatigue were same(rc=93.33).Fatigue has the highest betweenness(rb=13.69).Patients with positive limbs blood pressure mainly reported chest pain(70.17％),back pain(44.96％),and nausea and vomiting(19.33％),while those with negative limb blood pressure mainly reported chest pain(63.64％),back pain(63.64％),and orosphyalgia(39.40％).Orosphyalgia had the highest degree(rs=20).Conclusion The symptoms of ATAAD are complex and varied in patients.During triage,nurses should measure the limb blood pressure when patients complained chest pain alone or when combined with other hypoperfusion symptoms,such as back pain,chest tightness,sweating,near-death sensation,and shortness of breath.Aortic dissection cannot be ruled out in patients with negative blood pressure when they had chest pain,back pain or orosphyalgia.

The Screening Tool of Older Persons' Prescriptions(STOPP)and the Screening Tool to Alert to Right Treatment(START)play a crucial role in identifying potentially inappropriate prescriptions among the elderly.As the aging population continues to grow, there is an urgent need for effective tools to address the challenges of multimorbidity and polypharmacy in elderly patients in China.However, the development of rational medication screening tools has significantly lagged, and there is currently a lack of sensitive and effective instruments in China.This article analyzes the newly added entries in the third edition of STOPP/START, aiming to provide a reference for managing multiple medication regimens and for the development of relevant tools for elderly patients in China.

Objective:To evaluate the role of fibrinogen in perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) in aged mice.Methods:Sixty SPF healthy male C57BL/6J mice, aged 16-18 months, weighing 25-30 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=15 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), PND group (group P), urokinase group (group U) and PND+ urokinase group (group PU). Abdominal surgery was performed under 3% sevoflurane anesthesia to establish the mouse model of PND. In PU group, urokinase 20 000 U/kg was intraperitoneally administered at 1 h after surgery, once a day, for 5 consecutive days. In group U, urokinase was intraperitoneally injected once a day for 5 consecutive days without anesthesia and surgery. The cognitive function was assessed after operation using the novel object recognition test (discrimination index) and the Morris water maze test (frequency of crossing the original platform and percentage of the time spent in the target quadrant). The expression of occludin, claudin-5, fibrinogen and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1) and CD11b in hippocampal tissues was detected using Western blot, the area of fibrinogen extravascular deposits was measured and the morphology of microglia was observed using the immunofluorescence staining, and the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory factors (interleukin-1beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and inducible nitric oxide synthase), anti-inflammatory factors (interleukin-4 and arginase-1), and chemokines (chemokine 2 and chemokine ligand 10) in hippocampal tissues was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction after surgery. Results:Compared with group C, the parameters of cognitive function were significantly decreased, the expression of occludin and claudin-5 was down-regulated, the expression of fibrinogen was up-regulated, the area of fibrinogen extravascular deposits was increased, the number of branches was decreased and the average process length was shortened in the microglia around fibrinogen deposits, the expression of Iba-1 and CD11b was up-regulated, the mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines was up-regulated, and the mRNA expression of the anti-inflammatory factors was down-regulated in group PND ( P<0.05). Compared with group PND, the parameters of cognitive function were significantly increased, the expression of occludin and claudin-5 was up-regulated, the expression of fibrinogen was down-regulated, the area of fibrinogen extravascular deposits was decreased, the number of branches was increased and the average process length was prolonged in the microglia around fibrinogen deposits, the expression of Iba-1 and CD11b was down-regulated, the mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines was down-regulated, and the mRNA expression of the anti-inflammatory factors was up-regulated in group PU ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Fibrinogen deposits in the brain parenchyma through the damaged blood-brain barrier after anesthesia and surgery and participates in the development of PND, and the underlying mechanism may be related to the promotion of microglial activation and the induction of neuroinflammation in aged mice.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between the mechanism of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) preventing sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity and phosphorylated Tau glymphatic system clearance pathway in neonatal mice.Methods:Eighteen C57BL/6 pregnant mice were used in this study and subjected to 2 feeding regiments using the random number table method. Twelve mice were selected to receive a standard diet, and 6 mice were selected to receive a diet supplemented with fish oil (ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids [300 mg was added to every 20 g of standard diet from the 2nd day of gestation to 14 days after parturition). The healthy neonatal mice of both sexes, aged 6 days, weighing 3-5 g, were selected after parturition. Forty-eight neonatal pups from 6 pregnant mice that were fed a standard diet were assigned to control group (C group), 48 neonatal pups from 6 pregnant mice that were fed a standard diet were assigned to sevoflurane group (S group), and 48 neonatal pups from pregnant mice that were fed a diet supplemented with fish oil were assigned to ω-3 PUFAs plus sevoflurane group (PS group) using the random number table method. All the offspring mice in all groups were breastfed until 21 days of birth and then were housed in separate cages from their mothers after 21 days of birth and provided with ad libitum access to standard food. S group and PS group inhaled 3% sevoflurane and 40% oxygen for 2 h daily on postnatal days 6, 7 and 8. C group inhaled only 40% oxygen at the same flow rate. Y maze test was performed at postnatal day 33 to assess the spatial memory and cognitive function. The rotarod test was performed at postnatal day 35 to assess the fine motor coordination. The influx and efflux functions of the glymphatic system were assessed through intracisternal tracer infusion with the fluorescent tracer at postnatal days 14 and 35. The influx function was evaluated by the percentage of the area of tracer penetration 30 min after injection, while the efflux function was determined by the percentage of the residual area of the tracer 90 min after injection. The mice were sacrificed and the hippocampal tissue was obtained at postnatal day 14 for determination of the expression of phosphorylated Tau protein at serine 202 site and threonine 205 site (Tau-PS202/PT205) and total Tau protein by Western blot. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was collected at postnatal day 14 for determination of the concentration of phosphorylated Tau protein by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The mice were sacrificed and the hippocampal tissue was obtained at postnatal day 35 for determination of the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9 and cytochrome C (Cyt c) (by Western blot) and the apoptosis rate of neurons (by TUNEL).Results:Compared with C group, the time of staying at the new arm and in the rotarod test was significantly shortened, the percentage of new arm movement distance was decreased, the percentage of tracer penetration area was decreased at postnatal day 14, the percentage of residual tracer area was increased at postnatal day 14, the expression of Tau-PS202/PT205 in the hippocampus was up-regulated at postnatal day 14, the concentration of phosphorylated Tau protein in CSF was reduced at postnatal day 14, the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons was increased at postnatal day 35 ( P<0.05), and the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9 and Cyt c in the hippocampus was up-regulated at postnatal day 35 in S group ( P<0.05). Compared with S group, the time of staying at the new arm and in the rotarod test was significantly prolonged, the percentage of new arm movement distance was increased, the percentage of tracer penetration area was increased at postnatal day 14, the percentage of residual tracer area was decreased at postnatal day 14, the expression of Tau-PS202/PT205 in the hippocampus was down-regulated at postnatal day 14, the concentration of phosphorylated Tau protein in CSF was increased at postnatal day 14, the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons was decreased at postnatal day 35, and the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9 and Cyt c in the hippocampus was down-regulated at postnatal day 35 in PS group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which ω-3 PUFAs prevents cerebral neurotoxicity induced by repeated neonatal sevofurane exposure may be related to the enhancement of phosphorylated Tau protein clearance via the glymphatic system.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between the mechanism of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) in preventing brain neurotoxicity caused by multiple sevoflurane anesthesia and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1α) signaling pathway in neonatal mice.Methods:This study was performed in 2 parts.

Healthy C57BL/6 mice of both sexes, aged 6 days, weighing 3-5 g, were selected after parturition. Seventeen neonatal pups from 3 pregnant mice that were fed a conventional diet were assigned to control group (C group), 17 neonatal pups from 3 pregnant mice that were fed a conventional diet were assigned to sevoflurane group (S group), and 17 neonatal pups from pregnant mice that were fed a diet supplemented with fish oil were assigned to ω-3 PUFAs plus sevoflurane group (PS1 group) using the random number table method. Part Ⅱ Four C57BL/6 pregnant mice were assigned to receive a diet supplemented with fish oil from day 2 of gestation to day 14 after parturition. After parturition, 12 neonatal pups from 2 pregnant mice that were fed a diet supplemented with fish oil were assigned to ω-3 PUFAs plus sevoflurane group (PS2 group), and 12 neonatal pups from 2 pregnant mice that were fed a diet supplemented with fish oil were assigned to ω-3 PUFAs plus PPARγ inhibitor GW9662 plus sevoflurane group (PGS group) using a random number table method. GW9662 (2 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before exposure to sevoflurane in PGS group. All offspring mice were breastfed until 21 days of age, after which they were housed separately from the mother and allowed ad libitum access to a conventional diet. S, PS1, PS2 and PGS groups inhaled 3% sevoflurane in 40% oxygen for 2 h daily on postnatal days 6, 7 and 8. C group inhaled only 40% oxygen instead. Y maze test was performed on days 33 after birth. The rotarod test was performed on day 35 after birth. After the behavioral testing, the expression of PPARγ, PGC1α, mitofusin-1 (MFN1), MFN2, dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was detected by Western blot, the ultrastructure of mitochondria in hippocampal neurons was observed with a transmission electron microscope, and the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and content of ATP were determined.Results:Part Ⅰ Compared with C group, the time of stay at the new-arm and time spent on the rotarod were significantly shortened, the percentage of movement distance in the new-arm was decreased, the expression of PPARγ, PGC1α, MFN1 and MFN2 in the hippocampus was down-regulated, the expression of DRP1, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in the hippocampus was up-regulated, the MMP and content of ATP were decreased, and the level of ROS was increased in S group ( P<0.05).

Conclusions:The mechanism by which ω-3 PUFAs prevent brain neurotoxicity caused by multiple sevoflurane anesthesia is related to the activation of the PPARγ/PGC1α signaling pathway and alleviation of mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation in neonatal mice.

Objective:To evaluate the role of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in long-term cognitive impairment after multiple sevoflurane anesthesia in newborn mice.Methods:Clean-grade healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6 days, were used in this study. Ten mice were divided into 2 groups ( n=5 each) by the random number table method: control group (group C) and sevoflurane group (group S). The animals inhaled 3% sevoflurane for 2 h at 6, 7 and 8 days after birth. The DHA content was detected by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry at 9 days of age. Fifty-two mice were selected and divided into 4 groups ( n=13 each) by a random number table method: control+ normal saline group (group C+ S), sevoflurane anesthesia + normal saline group (group S+ S), control+ DHA group (group C+ D), and sevoflurane anesthesia+ DHA group (group S+ D). The sevoflurane anesthesia method was the same as the one mentioned above. DHA 50 mg/kg was administered by intragastric gavage from postnatal days 6-19 (at 6, 7 and 8 days after birth, 2 h before anesthesia) in C+ D and S+ D groups. The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in C+ S group and S+ S group. The novel object recognition test was conducted at 37 days of age, and the Morris water maze test was performed at 42 days of age. The corpus callosum and hippocampal tissues were isolated at 47 days of age for examination of the ultrastructure of myelin (with a transmission electron microscope) and for determination of the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) in hippocampal tissues (by Western blot). The G-ratio was calculated. Results:Compared with group C, the content of DHA in hippocampal tissues was significantly decreased in group S ( P<0.05). Compared with group C+ S, the discrimination index was significantly decreased, the percentage of duration of staying at the target platform quadrant and the number of crossing the original platform were decreased, the expression of MBP was down-regulated, and the G-ratio in the original platform and hippocampus was increased in S+ S group ( P<0.05). Compared with group S+ S, the discrimination index was significantly increased, the percentage of duration of staying at the target platform quadrant and the number of crossing the original platform were increased, the expression of MBP was up-regulated, and the G-ratio in the original platform and hippocampus was decreased in S+ D group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism of long-term cognitive impairment following multiple sevoflurane anesthesia may be related to a decrease in the content of DHA, which subsequently leads to myelin structural damage in neonatal mice.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of multiple sevoflurane anesthesia on the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids in the hippocampus of newborn mice and the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-beta (PPARβ).Methods:Clean-grade healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6 days, weighing 3-5 g, were divided into 2 groups ( n=8 each) by a random number table method: control group (group C) and multiple sevoflurane anesthesia group (group S). This study was performed in 2 parts. PartⅠ Sixteen newborn mice were divided into 2 groups ( n=8 each) using a random number table: control group (C group) and multiple sevoflurane anesthesia group (S group). Anesthesia was performed with sevoflurane on postnatal days 6, 7 and 8. The hippocampus was obtained at postnatal day 9 for determination of the content of long-chain fatty acids (by ultra-high performance liquid mass spectrometry), expression of PPARβ (by Western blot), and expression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase-2 (Scd2) and fatty acid desaturase 2 (Fads2) mRNA (using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction). Part Ⅱ Twenty-one newborn mice were divided into 3 groups ( n=7 each) using a random number table: control+ normal saline group (group C+ S), sevoflurane + normal saline group (group S+ S), and sevoflurane+ PPARβ specific agonist KD3010 group (group S+ K). Anesthesia was carried out with sevoflurane on postnatal days 6, 7 and 8. KD3010 25 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected once a day from postnatal day 6 to 13 in S+ K group. The novel object recognition test was performed on postnatal day 37, and the Morris water maze test was performed on postnatal day 42. The hippocampal tissues were obtained on postnatal day 47 for detection of the expression of Scd2 mRNA and Fads2 mRNA by fluorescent quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Anesthesia was carried out with sevoflurane as follows: Mice were exposed to 3% sevoflurane in 40% oxygen-60% nitrogen in an induction chamber for 2 h at a flow rate of 1 L/min. Results:PartⅠ Compared with group C, the total content of long-chain fatty acids, contents of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids were significantly decreased, the percentage of saturated fatty acids was increased, the percentage of monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids was decreased, the expression of Scd2 mRNA and Fads2 mRNA was down-regulated, and the expression of PPARβ was down-regulated in group S ( P<0.05). Part Ⅱ Compared with group C+ S, the discrimination index in the novel object recognition test and percentage of time spent in the target quadrant were significantly decreased, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, and the expression of Scd2 and Fads2 mRNA was down-regulated in group S+ S ( P<0.05). Compared with group S+ S, the discrimination index in the novel object recognition test and percentage of time spent in the target quadrant were significantly increased, the number of crossing the original platform was increased, and the expression of Scd2 and Fads2 mRNA was up-regulated in group S+ K ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Multiple anesthesia with sevoflurane can lead to the disorder of long-chain fatty acid metabolism in the hippocampus of neonatal mice, resulting in long-term cognitive dysfunction. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activity of hippocampal PPARβ signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.
